Patricia Kneale (17 October 1925 – 27 December 2008[1]) was a British stage and television actress.

Kneale gained a Meggie Albanesi scholarship to RADA, where she was awarded the Bancroft gold medal.

It was in this production that Bernard Kay learned, rehearsed, and played Macbeth in less than 24 hours.

Although mainly a stage actor, she was probably best known for her role in the 1961 British science fiction drama, A for Andromeda, which starred Esmond Knight and Peter Halliday.

Kneale also appeared in Jean-Paul Sartre's French Resistance drama, Men Without Shadows, and the 1970s police sitcom Rosie.
